Whats the possibility of getting hired driving truck with no experience ?

I was wondering what the possibility of getting hired with no experience is... for driving water truck.

Oh what should i do? haha Ive applied at MBI hauling water in williston. I was hoping to get a job with a sleeper truck and just start from there..I applied 7/20/13. So it sounds like i need just rain gear,snow gear,and a few bucks in my pocket to get started..I do have a pretty good job here that i would be leaving.. Just dont pay enough and the benefits arent so good..IM praying and hoping to be up there soon.. If anyone would like to give me an outfit to go work for or any ideas? Go ahead and shoot. Could call too 207-577-4336 . Im in eastern time.

Whats the real deal? Is ND a place to make money hauling water?

I want to work in s. Dakota
 

I read your post from 2011 about jobs in South Dakota. I REALLY need help and more information on how to get a job driving a water truck. I sure hope you respond to my message I need a job ASAP. I tried calling Steve at 970 773 3997 but no answer.

Just curious if this time of year is a Good time to head up to North Dakota for work? I'm learning towards MBI or Power Fuels for Good companies.

Hey,

looks like your most recent posts are over a year old but I thought I'd give this a shot and email you. I've been thinking really hard that this might be a really good solution for me, at least in the short to mid-term.

I'm a veteran, I'm an unemployed EMT (by the way, EMTs only make $10-12/hour to save your life, although I adore the work), I'm a chick, and a single mom. I'm capable, physically fit/strong, and not afraid of getting my hands dirty.

Truth is, I'm sick of being broke, Man. I know most of you are men out there, and life is truly tough, sometimes ...some of us get divorced, but not all of us chicks get such a great deal in settlement. Some of us get the short end of the financial stick and I was one of 'em. I'm willing to work my way out of this, rather than go back to court and relive the whole nightmare, just to pay another lawyer to mayyyybe get a better settlement, years down the road. In other words, I'm more than willing to just resolve my situation on my own and punch out of this vicious cycle of being broke. Trucking is certainly not the dream job I had in mind, when I was a little girl imagining where I'd be as an adult ... but again ... I know anyone on here can relate:

I am so sick of living broke and not being able to fill the fridge with enough steaks.


I'm very interested in driving a water truck at an oil field. Are the jobs and money still crazy up there? I think, at this point, my only option would be to do this during part of the year, (mainly the summer months) when the kids' father could take care of them, (youngest is 14, so not too difficult for me to be away) and then still be back in Colorado during the school year.

Is this feasible? I might be able to get assistance from the Colorado Work Force to help pay for the 2-week $4K driving school. Would I be able to get work, even if it were only for only part of the year and maybe short 1- and 2-week stints throughout the year to help get myself ahead?

Would love to hear from you or anyone, if you have the time to write, after your long shifts.

Thanks,

A

Hi there
My name is Rose.
I'm wanting to haul water or crude over there. Could you give me the name of a good outfit.
I can work as many hours as they can give me.
Looking for housing for myself.

I just had a phone interview with Badlands Powerfuels, also known as Nuverra. I was told that they pay on commission. I was quoted a weekly gross range between $1200 - $1500 and that's at 18% of each load. They put you in a dorm for the first week of classroom time. After that you have a month orientation or on the job training at $15/hr. After that you go out with a lead driver for 15 days hauling fresh water, salt water, and frac water. Here's the kicker. They provide discount housing which a one bedroom apartment is $1100 a month. I'm still going to investigate other companies because I'd like to haul water myself. I'd be taking a loss with the rent which is double my mortgage and can't afford to work at those wages with the increased cost of living. You know Mcdonald's and Walmart pay $15an hour so I think $15 an hour is an insult to be driving a tanker in bad conditions. So far it seems truck drivers are still in the same boat as burger flippers.

How wre you Justruckin? I'm sitting on the fence what is the demand for owner operator pulling tanker. I hear all the time of undercutting brokers! hopefully still good money is well anyway take care talk you later

Whatever you do, stay away from Nuverra Environmental Solutions (Formerly Badlands Power Fuels) from Watford City, N.D. I worked for them for nearly three years before I found out the truth about them. They are hiring 15 to 20 new drivers a week to replace the 30 or so that quit every week. They paint you a great picture but the reality is much different. They have a safety dept. that hides in the weeds with spotting scopes looking for anyone not wearing a vest or safety glasses etc. Their attitude is strictly, "Gotcha!" The recruiting dept. works overtime to recruit drivers and the safety dept. works twice as hard to get rid of them.

It is much more expensive to live and work up there than anyone will tell you. The money sounds good, but take away the cost of their housing ($1100.00 per month for a ONE bedroom apartment, $2300.00 for a two bedroom), the price of food and the rip off atmosphere of nearly every business involved in the oil field area, and you don't wind up with much. Add in the fact that people are getting killed every day in the insane traffic situation up there and suddenly it doesn't sound so good anymore.

I am making 8.00 per hr here in Winchester, Va as a cashier at a truck stop . just keeping my head above water, I have a Class B CDL is that all you need to haul water ? and what is your co. name ? how can I apply ? should I bring a camper ? Thanks Sandra Tired of being poor

Justruckin I'm new to the board here, how do I PM? Looking for more info, are you an O/O?

I'm interested, but when you say "Excellent driving record", does that mean "spotless"?

...i have a couple points

I just got out of school. how do i get on pulling water in north Dakota?

im very interested in working in ND but i need particulars

Same here I'm interested in this too if anyone knows!

I just signed on with Schneider a couple weeks ago and so far so good: Schneider Jobs - CDL Truck driving, Owner Operators, Mechanics, Warehouse, Office

Tho if you prefer to work with a smaller less-corporate company, I'd recommend Deer Valley: Deer Valley Trucking Jobs

Seriously considering making the move to ND. 6 kids requires better pay than Georgia can provide. Any suggestions? Looking at Nuverra

Just me, but I'd get nervous of any company that's changed name several times. Nuverra is one of them. I used to haul anhydrous and jet fuel for them for the guy I was driving for. He was leased on to them. They used to be known as power fuels. Then changed names and now nuverra.

Being from ga, you will be in for a shocker come winter. I grew up in north Dakota and this last winter was enough to have me looking to move south. Since I'm an independent, I can work wherever I want so I just took loads too going south instead.

While the wages look great, consider the actual cost of living. Make good money, but you are paying it out in rent if you can find a place to live.

Minot and the entire place have local papers you'd do good to check out the rental property for costs. Craigslist is another place.

When I looked at the bakken two years ago even going there with a trailer, I couldn't justify the expenses for the income. So I just went back otr.

[Call my Pusher, his name is Steve and does all of the hiring. And we are in serious need of drivers right now, give him a call @ (970) 773-3997]


Bad number guy does not want anymore calls
